"We should never have named what we buried. We know now it wasn't love." ~ Richard Hugo from Graves.
Last night I attended a reading at Seattle's Richard Hugo House, a Cheap Beer & Prose event hosted by Cheap Wine & Poetry, to quote their blog, "Seattle’s biggest, coolest, hippest reading series." There was a huge turnout. I went alone but met some really nice people who invited me to join them at their table. One had come to read poetry at the open mic following the main event. As it turned out, I read as well. It's wonderful reading to people who actually listen. By the way, the Hugo House is a great place. Next time you are in Seattle, check it out.
Language itself is a barrier.

Which poem did you read?
I read two, Drift and Girl; Drift because the opening image refers to the time I lived in the neighbor where the Hugo House is located. I read Girl for the other poet at the table because she read it earlier in the evening and liked it.
do you rehearse before?
msb... no but I've read them in public before.
